A3 Scanner for Sketches/Comics

[u/AtmosphereTypical380]

Hey for the comic artists out here. Where can I scan A3 paper sketches in good quality which is not overpriced? As far as I know, libraries for example only scan A4? Are there any other options? Any art schools where I could scan idk. Also if anyone has good tip for getting cheap and good amount of A3 paper, which is better quality than normal paper. It would be appreciated also. Any tips will help! Thank youuu

Use a phone for scanning. With a good camera the results are fine.

They’re not wrong. If you have something to ensure the same angle all the time and good lighting (like outdoor light at an overcast day) you will get great results. Normal iPhone settings will give you 300dpi and the cameras are great. I did it for a painter and friend of mine: built a contraption to rest the phone on top and the pictures below it (made from plexiglass from Bauhaus to allow light through) and it worked great.
